Top Beer Can Beach Hotel Reviews

Ocean View Studio Condo at Seascape Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Loved staying at this property. We have no complaints. The room was very clean, the view was gorgeous and the host was easy to work with. Absolutely loved it!"

2 Bedroom Ocean View, Seascape Resort, Aptos

8/10 Good

"Super convenient to have access to the pool and hot tub."

Ocean view! Fantastic Seascape Resort 1 Bedroom!

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great location with great ocean views from the balcony. Very nice to have an easy and short walk to the beach. Need to budget for access to the fitness facilities that were not included with this rental. The market and Mexican restaurant nearby were very good, fairly priced and extremely convenient. I would definitely consider a subsequent stay when the vacation budget recovers. Enjoy!"

Premium Ocean Front Villa at Seascape!

10/10 Excellent

"This unit was in a perfect location and the unobstructed view was amazing. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well appointed. The only downside was that the pool that this unit had access to was on the North side of the property (12 minute walk away) even thought the South side pool was a 30 second walk away. I'm not sure why this unit would have to walk so far away for the pool when you could actually see the South side pool from the unit."

Corner Ground Level Seascape Resort 1 Bedroom!

10/10 Excellent

"Great overall experience for a beach location. The unit was on the corner away from the main location, which allowed for easy street parking. While it didn't have an ocean view, it was the closest unit to the beach access path which offered an easy quick trip to the beach every morning. The place was pretty big for a 1 bedroom. I was flying solo but it could have easily fit a family of 4. It was incredibly clean with all of the amenities you would need and expect for an extended stay. I only gave four stars for the value because it was pretty expensive all in. There were comparable places that might have been a little less but during my visit there was a convention going on which I'm assuming is what drove down availability and drove up pricing."

Expansive Ocean Views-Prime Condo at Seascape!

10/10 Excellent

"The unit was clean, beautiful, comfortable and just as represented. Great place."

Seascape Resort in Aptos, Fabulous Ocean View Condo with 2/2.5 and Sleeps 6

10/10 Excellent

"This place had everything you could need. The location was amazing. Just steps to the pool and stairs to access the beach. The screen doors were not secure, just be mindful if you have little ones. For us with a 6 year old it wasn’t an issue. Ocean views from both balconies and beautiful sunsets. We slept with the doors open and heard the ocean all night. The unit is also just steps from the parking garage which has your dumpsters and an ice machine. That was extremely helpful. If you don’t want to cook, there is a beautiful on-site restaurant but there’s also a pizza place (very heavy on the rosemary), a Mexican food restaurant and a café just across the street. There’s also a small grocery store and a liquor store. The café had pastries, ice cream, cakes, coffee, and a wide variety of food. Overall I’d give it a 10/10. We had the best family weekend. We had 6 adults and it was plenty of space! The only amenities is not included were the golf cart rides, and the s’mores set up on the beach."

Seascape Resort 2B Luxury Oceanview Villa, Steps From The Beach, 5 min to golf

10/10 Excellent

"Location was in point for what we needed. Wishing we could have stayed, will need to make a trip back to enjoy all the amenities. Room felt stuffy, didn’t see the fans until we left. lol but overall great experience and great time!"

Seascape Beauty with Distant Ocean View-Sleeps 8!

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay the communication for everything was awesome even the specific details about what to do when we left the place in regards to towels, thermostat, garbage etc. The only thing we were not sure where to leave were the sheets and pillows for the downstairs rollouts, so we left those in the bedrooms close to washer and dryer and if it was ok to park directly in front of the place without a parking pass. Apart from those minor details communication emails were great. Our balcony view was nice especially because we could see a section of the beach. Just a small minor note the downstairs sliding door latch and upstairs bathroom window were a little tricky to open and close. One time I got locked out on the balcony. The kitchen supplies were stocked we had everything we needed to cook with. Overall beautiful place, my family thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would definitely book this place again!!!"
